The new Hydroconquest to me is pretty nice. The one you posted with the busy alu bezel is a proper munter.

Agree - nicer. It’s not causing me the usual Longines anguish. Probably helps that it’s not a terrible render.

Can’t unsee the crown guards though.
@Heldring oooh, what ya got? It came from Japan via eBay but I’ve started fishing on Yahoo Japan with a translator and it’s very dangerous. That seems to be where the Seiko nerds are hoovering up the real bargains.

I tried one on and just it just didn't work for me. It is very wide, the crown dug into my wrist. It also looks wide with the long brand name and the stretched font used for the numbers. Those long lugs also make it feel big too. It feels very lumpy. And then they mate it to a really flimsy feeling bracelet so it's very top heavy and rolling around on the wrist.
Lovely finish to the watch and the colours really pop on the dial, but it was just weirdly unbalanced to wear.

Looks like a Sea Dweller fucked an Explorer and Helson filmed it.

So weird though. Every time I look at one I'm like "yeah, yeah, yeah OH MY GOD WHY DID THEY DO THAT THOUGH?" It's like their design department's moto is 'snatch defeat from victory'.
Case in point.
